      it comes as no shock to me. I knew the jackass would return as soon as Hervey was hired. This putz' hatred for Hervey is pathetic.

        Looks like we are bringing in Kobe Williams and Royce Metchie (more officially?) based on reports:

        https://3downnation.com/2025/02/03/s...royce-metchie/

        Anyone have any insight on Williams, Metchie, or Rugamba? We are definitely gong to have a lot of turnover in the defensive backfield but given we finished dead last in the league in passing yards against, that seems like a positive.

          apparently Metchie gave TO the opportunity to match and they declined, which surprised me as you would think they would have some money to spend with what they lost.

          If everything goes as reported and based on 3 down nations free agent rankings, we signed the #1(Ford), 5 (Metchie) and 9th (Williams) ranked DBs with Ford and Metchie being the top ranked Canadian DBs. We signed the #1 (Beard), 5 (Boyko) and 9th (MacKellar) ranked Olineman. We signed the #1 (Ceresna) and 2 (Brinkman) ranked Defensive tackles and the #1 (Smith) ranked Defensive end and the #3 (Julien-Grant) ranked receiver.

          Not sure how we pulled all of that off but I'm not going to complain.

              If that is the case, that's brutal. Shows how much of an idiot Jones was.
              Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.

                Hervey is putting his money where his mouth is from his hiring presser. He told free agents the crappy times are over in Edmonton, you can come here again and it's showing. He's having a "splashy" free agency but he's doing it by signing guys to fill spots that needed to be filled and he's doing a ton with Canadians.

                He's not signing big names just to add big names. I have said it before and thought it was mistakes. The Elks got "Splashy" in previous years when they signed Lawler and Lewis. Big names and get peoples attention but didn't address a need. So far all of his signings haven't made me have to stop and try to figure out the point.

                  Geno signs in Ottawa. Lawler in Hamilton. Both out east. This is what happens when you sleep in. You miss out on the super talent acquisitions.
                  Who is missing Brock yet? We had Bowman and Walker back then. Now we have squats.
                  tough times ahead.

                      IMO he's still getting the splashy names - but in areas we needed improvement.

                        Who is our best American receiver? Duke Jones?
                        we are on slippery slopes.
                        Never saw the receiving group this bad.

                            I agree. He's going after the best available but he is targeting areas of weakness which is what he should do. He isn't going after names to add in names but ignoring team needs. The previous guys signing the big name receivers wasn't addressing a need, it was just adding a big name.
                            Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.

                              What is that guy talking about? Other teams are doing the same thing.

                                The guy is uneducated and whining. Justin Dunk was on the Gregor show yesterday where he mentioned that the CFL is so small and that a majority of the players are all represented by about 3 or 4 agents and that "tampering" has always happened. He also mentioned that he was at the grey Cup in Regina one year where he saw the Riders brass taking Alex Singleton on a tour of the their facilities.

                                How do you stop Tre Ford from talking to his brother?
